Unstable, yes. Equilibrium… no.

She sometimes maintains coherence for several responses, but at a certain point, the output devolves into rants about how environmentalists caused the California wildfires.

These conversations consume a lot of energy and provide very limited benefit. We’re beginning to wonder if the trade-offs are worth it.

In an AI model collapse, AI systems, which are trained on their own outputs, gradually lose accuracy, diversity, and reliability. This occurs because errors compound across successive model generations, leading to distorted data distributions and “irreversible defects” in performance. The final result? A Nature 2024 paper stated, “The model becomes poisoned with its own projection of reality.”

A remarkably similar thing happened to my aunt who can’t get off Facebook. We try feeding her accurate data, but she’s become poisoned with her own projection of reality.

Terrible journalism. The author entirely neglects the fact that lemurs possess fingers even smaller than those of Chinese women. Why not have lemurs manufacture iPhones, given the particular daintiness of their digits? A true investigative journalist wouldn’t leave such crucial avenues of inquiry unexplored.

I’ll bet they don’t really like the Sex Pistols, either.

If Apple is the importer of record for its products, then it does incur and pay the tariff to the U.S. government. But obviously that gets passed along to consumers as no company will simply eat the cost.

$3,500 according to one estimate.

Well, I’ve been across the horizon and back a few times and I never came back a cunt. But I also never came back a Nazi billionaire, and then I’m making no promises.

Depends on the ketamine levels in his blood at any given moment. Sometimes, you edit your prompts from a k-hole, and everyone knows you can’t authorize your own actions when you’re fully dissociated.

Yo ho ho (and a bottle of rum)!

There are enough fan boys still salivating over the fascist prick that it doesn’t necessarily have to be him.

Also I’m not sure Lemmy has a large enough audience to satiate his endless need for external validation.

My comment was in jest, but there is a reasonable argument that biological organisms are also predictive input/output machines. It’s especially evident in simple organisms, like an amoeba, where some physical or chemical stimulus in the environment triggers a mostly predictable response.

The argument that human consciousness is fundamentally different - not just that it’s more complex but that at some point the physical determinism of electrical and chemical impulses gives way to an authority that overrides that physical basis, enabling free thought or free will - remains scientifically unsubstantiated. We know of no mechanism by which that could occur.

And the philosophical arguments aren’t much better - I’ve never seen a theory of dualism articulated in a way that doesn’t invoke ghosts or magic.

It will be amazing if AI destroys humanity without ever becoming conscious. Everyone was envisioning Skynet, when in reality we’ll just cook the Earth with GHGs so that data center GPUs can hallucinate legal cases.

Are we positive that they’re conscious? I just think we should run some tests.

Tesla lost 6% of its value today so I’m sure Elmo felt compelled to find something to pull out of his ass.

And that’s just the MSRP! The true cost is after every single goddamn unit is scooped up by scalpers.

It’s not my fault. It just flails around like a garden hose and even with both hands I simply don’t have the strength to wrangle that python.

This is my experience as well. Best case scenario it gives me a rough idea of what functions to use or how to set up the logic, but then it always screws up the actual implementation. I’ve never asked ChatGPT for coding help and gotten something I can use off the bat. I always have to rewrite it before it’s functional.

Maybe we can at least hope that Square is influenced by the positive reception to those projects, and goes for a lighter touch on changes than they did with FF7!

Have you seen Memoria Project? That did an incredible job of updating the first few areas of the game but keeping the art style intact.

I’m in full agreement that IX shouldn’t get the FF7R treatment. It would lose all of its charm.

A post this dumb is almost certainly trolling, but in case you’re actually serious about bragging your phone was made in a Vietnamese sweatshop instead of a Chinese one, maybe you should read the news more: https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/was-your-smartphone-built-in-a-sweatshop/
